turned to the circle around the council

another Indian got up, walked sedately
to the instruments, gravely examined
them, gruntod, and in silence returned
to his place by the fire. This example
was followed by half dozen other
bucks. Then they held short con-
sultation, and the head man arose and
came over to the white men.

In this day Of tendency toward So
eialism and materialism it is well to
look carefully to the foundation prin-
ciples on which we act. We cannot
too cften revert to those solid rocks
Of reason and right on which our
fathers built and which had been laid
for them BY no less a being than the
Almighty himself. We must proceed
il all things upon the principles OF
Christianity, in works both Of private
and Of public character, in the enact
ment OF all laws and in the education
Of children. If we lose these land
marks we are adrift indeed. They
are the only sure guides. Mans in
tellectual endowments are superb,
hut they are but will-o-the wisps when
opposed to divine teaching. These
are but trite sayings, we are ready to
admit, but they embody truths which
alone can avail to stem the tide Of ad.
vancing rationalism. Let MS bear
them in mind in all our ways Tor the
good Of ourselves Individually and Of
the whole nation.

1t seems that not every anchor"
which James G. Blaine sscast to wind
ward" during his career in Congress
was discovered during the last Pres
idential canvass. The Pacific Rail-
road Commission has just unearthed
paper containing a confidential
statement of the stock contracts made
to secure the passage of the Pacific
Railroad bill of 1862. Among other
entries on this memorandum, was
this: "Blaine of Maine, $4,000;
right; 5000 not issued; non-assessa-
ble." The New York Sun also says
that another confidential statement
noted Blaine of Maine, 10000 acres;
right" and .Blaine of Maine, 1900
acres government land; right"
This has, to say the least of it, a
suspicious look. But it is presumed
that Mr.. Blaine will not trouble HIM
self about the matter. The charges
made against him in 1884, based the
clearest proofs, seemed to have no
effect upon his equanimity. For that
matter the mass of the Republican
voters appeared to take them as mat
ter of course. The audacity of the
"Plumed Knight" in acquiring wealth
by corruption in Office threw gla-
monr of wickedness about his charac-
ter which charmed the simplicity Of
Republican voters as the glitter Of
the serpent's eye is supposed to
charm the innocent bird. Will this
uncanny influence continue to hold
intelligent and decent men under the
potency Of its spell?

New York Herald: "The great

much. 1t let's local affairs alone. It
does not meddle with foreign Powers.
It is Democratic government, a
government of the people, by the
people and for the people; and so
well is this known that the President

dence in a degree that has not had
more than two historical precedents. y

Personalism in Party Leaders.

Tenacity in friendship is a COM
mendable quality In any man. Gen.
Grant had the quality in large de-
gree, and it caused trouble for him,
because he would not, or could not,
draw the distinction between what
was his, personally to bestow upon
his personal friends, and, what was
his as the head of a great party, to
bestow for the benefit of the party
for its unity, its harmony, its success.
1t cannot and will not be contro-
verted that man who shall be Sc
lected for President or Governor,
should not regard the official positions
in his gift as has personal perquisites
of Office, but that they should be held
by him as party chief in trust for
the benefit of the party who made
him its leader and gave him the power
to give gifts or confer official posi-
tions-and this second only to the
good of the people generally. If a
party leader, or official head, uses all,
or most of the Offices, at his bestowal
upon his personal partisans, he makes
his party supremacy subservient to
his personal promotion, and personal
ism dominates party unity, party har-
mony, party success, and disentegra-
ton and discord arises as conse-
quence of the acts of him whose
prime duty as party leader is to
unite opposing factions, harmonic
strifes in the ranks, and make COM
pact and inyincible the hosts he may
lead.
Now, has not Gov. McEnery used
his official patronage for his personal
interests rather than for the unifca-
ton and harmony of the Democratic
party in Louisiana Has not his
conduct in Office demonstrated that
he has as q rule regarded as good
Democrats only those who supported
him for nomination as Governor, to
the exclusion from Office, or from his
councils, of those who preferred
another Democrat to himself, and yet
voted for him after he had become
the chosen leader of his party? Il
he has, then he is more of q McEnery
man than he is Democrat. If he
has, he has dwarfed his leadership O
party to the personalism of an indi
vidual If he mas, he has given tt
! McEnery what belonged to the Dem
ocratic party.
These questions should be answer
ed, not by citing appointments of
few minor officials, but by Showing
! by facts the general trend of hi
